I want to know if Borland will make some version of C++ Builder for
.NET, like Delphi 2005.
Note that Microsoft are making the C++/CLI binding for .NET into an
international standard through ECMA. While Borland have not yet
announced if they will implement this standard, they are a member of
the commitee <g>

Actually I use C++ Builder 5 Enterprise very well and never find any
problems, but the new goal for the company is migrate all aplications
to Microsoft .NET framework, Iīm C/C++ programer and I want still use
Borland Compilers, but I can't find any information about the future
of C++ Builder 6, in this case.
The next version of C++Builder will ship as 'the C++ personality' of
the next version of Delphi:
bdn.borland.com/article/0,1410,32845,00.html
This version will probably target Win32 development, with .NET support
to follow later. Nothing official yet, but based on the following
comment in the C++Builder chat last month:
bdn.borland.com/article/0,1410,32958,00.html
drbob42: "when we see the C++Builder personality in the Delphi (BDS)
IDE, will that mean a Win32 or a .NET C++ personality? (or both? ;-)"
- additional work will happen for .NET after this Win32-supporting
release

In this momment I donīt know what happend with C++ Builder and I know
VC.NET can create windows formīs now.
Personally, I would not like to write for WinForms using managed C++.
The C++/CLI binding that MS (and others) are now working on is a much
better approach, but will not be available until VS.NET 2005 is
released. It is a much neater and more complete solution. that
effectively replaces managed C++ (which MS will continue to support for
back compatibility only, not as an ongoing development)

Is the time for leave C++ Builder and I use VC ?
Is the time for leave this community ?
Right now I would say not - neither does .NET very well so I would wait
and see the next version of both products, and then decide. I would
not like to pick any current product for .NET development in C++.
